A couple weeks ago, Sophia and I were moving rocks in the backyard, we REALLY know how to have a good time! We could push the watermelon sized rocks pretty well, but there was one much bigger, more the size of four watermelons (the big kind, not the freakish seedless variety that are in the stores in December).
Sophia quickly recognized her mother’s limits and said, “I know what to do,” and she took off. About fifteen minutes later, my dad showed up at the door. Looks like Sophia has learned a fundamental life skill, know your limits and know who to call. She knew I would never be able to heave the big rock, and she knew who could get the job done.
About five minutes after Grandpa’s arrival, and lots of advice from Sophia (not as helpful as her phone powers) the rock was moved and she had someone to play with her. And I was reminded it is in my best interest to always stay on her good side.
